]]> Assassination threats are believed to have led Nigerian President Muhammadu Buhari to cancel what would’ve been his first presidential visit to the oil-producing Niger Delta.

The Ogoliland area hit by numerous damaging oil spills has been struck  by a wave of militant attacks.

A Muslim from the north of Nigeria, President Muhammadu Buhari is criticised for ignoring the predominantly Christian south.

Last month he cancelled a visit to the commercial capital Lagos.

Hours after announcing that Buhari’s sending Vice President Yemi Osinbajo to Ogoniland the Niger Delta Avengers militant group, which has claimed several attacks on Chevron and Royal Dutch Shell facilities, issued a warning to oil firms that their facilities and personnel will bear the brunt of their fury.

The Avengers have accused Buhari of ignoring local problems.
